Sailing yacht review – New model Oceanis Yacht 54

Beneteau yard have been the biggest manufacturer of yachts over the past decades. They launched Beneteau First 53 in Covid year; a modern, stylish and fast sailing boat.

Now, it is time for the new Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54 cruising yacht. The architects of this stylish sailing boat are Roberto Biscontini (Biscontini Yacht Design) and Lorenzo Argento (interior & deck design), whose creation paves the way for a new generation of high-end cruisers that optimize cockpit and interior layouts without any sacrifices to performance, practicality, or comfort. The yacht carries the unmistakable DNA of the Oceanis range, a delicate balance of form and function that make her as pretty as she is capable, and as focused as she is versatile, equally ready for a fast ocean passage or a leisurely double-handed sunset cruise. With an emphasis on build quality, high-end materials, and the innovative vision that has always been a staple of the BENETEAU brand, the Oceanis Yacht 54 truly represents the pinnacle of the modern monohull cruising design.

Exterior Design of Oceanis Yacht 54

By incorporating a standard feature of the Oceanis range – The main sail arch – the OC54Y’s cockpit is completely open, allowing for intuitive movement, comfort and space; indeed, the flush cockpit occupies more than a third of the full deck area. The passage from the companionway down the centerline to the side-decks is absolutely unimpeded, and transit to the foredeck is made safe by the boat’s high bulwarks and lifelines, as well as the generous width of the catwalks.

Access to the sea is provided by the expansive swim platform, which, once deployed, reveals the space below the cockpit to stow away a 2,4m inflatable tender. Cruising really comes into its own on the Oceanis 54 Yacht, with all sheets and halyards run aft of the cockpit seats, leaving a clean area for rest and relaxation. The sunpad on the foredeck is likely to be the most popular spot on the boat!

Interior Design of Oceanis Yacht 54

In terms of layout, 2 versions are available: three cabins and two heads, or three cabins and three heads with an extra-large forward master cabin, in which it is easy to walk around the double bed (1,6m wide). Both can be built using light oak or walnut. The trim shows great attention to details, such as the top quality upholstery, wood linings, riddles and lighting, making this 17m sailing yacht ideal for modern cruising.

The modern life of sailors indicates the demand for longer use of sailboats on which one can live and work. Therefore, we have included the Oceanis Yacht 54 variant with 3 cabins as an answer for living and working area on the sea. We are looking forward to get one of the Oceanis Yacht 54 in Croatia, by the end of 2021 or in 2022. Prices and accessories of this model can be viewed on the official website of Beneteau Croatia. Similar models can be rented from charter base in ACI marina Split (First 53 & Oceanis 60)
